If they release a 15" g5 powerbook, what would happen to sales of their 17" g4 powerbook? I don't believe apple would have a powerbook line with their midrange model having such a radically better architecture/processor then their high end model.
Since a lot of adult sites are fly-by-night operations, merchant accounts for adult businesses generally disallow memberships for more than one year, as they worry about the business folding and having to refund all the money. So if you see one year options by credit card on adult sites, it's usually because they use a third party billing solution (like ibill.com or ccbill.com) who take responsability for the refunds.

Blogger has been having a lot of troubles lately, if you can find your own web hosting, you may want to consider using the very easy to set-up movable type.
Is that "160 specialized vector instructions" the infamous motorola designed altivec? Is this the next processor apple will use? Does this mean all that intel talk was well.... just talk?
 
anyone know?
Perhaps the New York Times should take their database of archived articles off line, since some of the people depicted in their stories would probably prefer if other people couldn't read about certain things they did.
From the article:
Cyc's programmers taught it that certain things in the world are salacious and shouldn't be mentioned in everyday applications.
What do you think about imposing our morality on an AI? Is it neccesary for any artificial intelligence we create to share _all_ our values?
If there is no afterlife for an AI and no punishment, what motivation does it have to be good?
Can't anyone give hotmail a break? They're just a poor start up company trying to figure out a way to generate revenue.
What? Microsoft owns them? Their chairman is the richest man in the world? Well then, I guess there isn't much of an excuse to defraud customers, unless of course that is the way you become a hugely successful company...
I have been looking for a good php guru in portland oregon to hire to work on my site forever. I haven't been able to find anyone who isn't already swamped with work. It may be a "dead-end" job but while all my graphic designer friends are out of work, all my programmer friends have too much on their plate.
I know, first person observation isn't an accurate reflection of a marketplace, but still...
I work on a porn site. Everytime we shoot a girl we get two forms of ID from her, almost always a drivers license and a social security card. We then photocopy those IDS and take a picture of the girl with something that has a date on it (newspaper most of the time). We file all these documents away so that we can prove when we shot the girls they were over the age of 18. I never complain about this extra work. Ever. It's the right thing to do. Girls under 18 should not ever be depicted in Porn. Period. They are for the most part not capable of making a decision that may have ramifications on the rest of their life.
That being said, the part of this law that always terrified me was that part that stated you can't depict an adult as a minor in pornography. We shoot girls who like to wear their hair in pigtails. Could they have come after me for that?
I am very against Child Pornography, but this law really worried me that I might go to jail sometime for someones interpertation of something.

The Sexiest Metal

I shattered my wrist a couple years ago, and theybolted a titanium plate to the bone in my wrist. The doctors said it is supposed to stay inside me for the rest of my life. They explained that the lightweight metal was especially well-suited for this purpose, because of it's strength/weight ratio.
My only complaint is it aches after a hot shower or bath, anyone have any scientific reason for why this would be?
At the end of the day, Campaign Donations from media companies like Disney and Universal only go so far. If enough voters are against something, elected representatives tend to vote against it as well. I would urge people to keep writing letters in protest of the bill, as they do seem to make a difference.
Imagine what a world of difference this would make to the mute or to people who had lost the use of their voice due to throat cancer. It seems weird they didn't mention the applications this would have for people who have lost or have never had the use of their voice.
Sure you can build the ufo for $10

But where are the instructions to build the anal probe for $10 in parts?
I just don't see any use in owning a ufo unless i can kidnap farmers in iowa and probe their bodily orficies like the real aliens.
I would venture to guess the reason there are so many regulatory bodies involved in overseeing the safety of such things as highways, seagoing vessels, planes, food, etc. and not software, is that in the former situation human life is directly at risk while in the latter human life, is at best, indirectly at risk and usually not at risk at all.
we don't spam. we do have a box on the front page of our site that allows users to refer someone else to the site, so if you got an email from us it means someone manually typed your name into the box on the front page of the site. If you reply to the message with block in the subject header, no one will ever be able to send you an email from our site again (no front page mail, no mail this story to a friend, no postcards, nothing, period.)
I am sorry you got an unwanted email. We have debated removing our mail to a friend links from our site, and everytime I hear that someone is annoyed by an email, its another push in the direction of us doing just that.

I wish the case-mod insdustry and the sex-toy industry would join forces in an onholy alliance that would present to the world the ultimate geek product.

Until that happens I just don't see the point.:)

Is it just me or does what they are saying really just boil down to, "Everyone elses Spam is bad but ours..."
Very similar to the old cliche that some people really believe that their shit don't stink.

This is a ridculous way to look at privacy.

Maybe the web guys were sick of a bunch of slickster suits not inviting them to any of the good post-awards parties.
ok maybe they would, but you'd probably only getty pretty spam from them.
What? Microsoft owns them? Their chairman is the richest man in the world? Well then, I guess there isn't much of an excuse to defraud customers, unless of course that is the way you become a hugely successful company...
Enough to fund a small nation would be my guess.
And on another note, on most of the turner stations, the ads are the best thing they're broadcasting.
Apparently there was no clause in the contract about quality of programming, have you seen the crap on TNT?

Also they gave every 7th grader in maine an ibook this year, and those kids usually go down with one punch. :)
